(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​远:) The simple-form character ​远 (7 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 遠 (13 strokes), replacing the full-form component ​袁 (10 strokes) with ​元 (4 strokes).
    Note: In the simple form ​远, the full-form component ​袁 yuán (phonetic) becomes ​元 yuán (phonetic).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of 遠(​􀔈) yuǎn ‘far-off’ combines ​辶(​辵 chuò) ‘walk/pace/go’, and ​袁(​􁛆) yuán ‘long robe/gown’ (phonosemantic).
    Compare: ​元(​􀀂) yuán ‘(head/top) beginning/primary’.
